    Sean, here's my initial two test videos from the day I installed it. (photobucket makes the videos much choppier than they actually are)

    Another thing I can do is check on my form :tu: I like this since I don't have a range nearby.

    Ftiz...I watched just about every promotional video on Insane Archery's website (customer videos). Your bow by far is the quietest I've heard. Did you edit out the sound of the shot or is it really that quite?

    Good luck tonight!

    Finch. No editing, just straight from the iPhone to the web.

    It's been pretty breezy but it's starting to calm down a bit. So far my only visitors have been red squirrels, chickadees, and a hairy woodpecker. As it dies down I'm hoping that will change :tu:

    You should invest in some lighted nocks,sure helps following the arrow's flight with the camera mount. I have the Insane also, but have choosen not to use it. I found it uncomfortable on my shooting hand while grasping the bow. The uncomfort was with my fingers being cramped while grasping my grip. Great blog bud, I'll be back for more updates, I see the lake calmed down for your ride home.
    Rocky.
    If anyone out there wants my Insane Archery Mount,PM me

    Well it's been rainign for two days now and I can't take it....

    ... So I'm going for a walkabout. I want to scout to the WSW of the lake. I'll let you know if I come across anything good! I've wanted to poke around over there for a couple years and haven't found the time, so today is the day :tu:

    That's crazy! When looking at the GE image, its the first place that draws me. I love hunting these areas with beaver ponds and dry marshes. I love to find an edge/semi funnel like the one I have circled in the pic below. I look forward to what you find!
